Summary
It is about an old man that receives a food parcel while the people make assumptions about him and the parcel is full of rotten food and he proves the people wrong.

4.When the Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are sent out of London during World War II, they have no idea of the magical journey they are beginning. In the darkness of the old country house where they are sent, the children stumble through an old wardrobe to the land of Narnia, where animals talk and magic exists. This is the first story of Narnia written by C.S. Lewis and it tells the story of how these four children with the help of Aslan, the Great Lion, help defeat the White Witch who holds Narnia. The first of the children to make their way into Narnia is Lucy, the youngest. There she meets Mr. Tumnus the faun who confesses to her that he is an agent of the White Witch and he is supposed to capture any humans he meets. He explains that the Witch has held Narnia under an enchantment which makes it always winter and never Christmas. The only way the Witch can be defeated is to have four humans sit on the throne at the castle of Cair Paravel. When Lucy returns home, her brothers and sister think she is either lying or crazy, but soon Edmund follows Lucy into the world and meets the White Witch who plies him with Turkish Delight extracting a promise from him that he will bring his siblings to her. Finally, all of the children go through the wardrobe into Narnia. There they go on a journey to rescue Tumnus who has been arrested, find Aslan the Great Lion and defeat the White Witch forever. While a wonderful adventure, the story is also allegorical in nature telling symbolically the story of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Aslan the Great Lion is a Christ figure who sacrifices his life to save Edmund's. During the journey to find Aslan, Edmund betrays his siblings and goes to join the White Witch becoming her prisoner. After his rescue, the witch approaches Aslan claiming the right to Edmund's life because of his traitorous act. Aslan later goes willingly to the Witch in Edmund's place, letting her kill him. As the girls, Lucy and Susan secretly watch he is shorn of his mane, tied up and killed. As they dispair, he suddenly appears to them alive again and leads them to the aid of Peter's army defeating the Witch forever. The children spend years in Narnia where they grow up to be Kings and Queens having many adventures until one day they are hunting in the woods and find their way back to their own world through the Wardrobe. There they are children again and find that no time at all has passed.
The features are title,list of cast, stage directions in brackets, lines,acts and scenes.I like that the children go back in time. The purpose of stage directions is to tell the actors what to do.Summary: Arthur finds a stone head by the river.He shows it to Gergiev. They go back to AD 43. Claudius wife tells him not to invade Britain. They do.5 Britishould tribe leaders surrender. When the Romansun leave Colchester, Boudicca fights back. She sacrifices his statues head that the children fOundle. They sell it to a lady. 50 years later, it is sold at Sothebys auction for £15.500.

The features of a play script is the stage directions and the person who is speaking is on the side with a colon for example

ReplyDeleteSNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS SCRIPT EXCERPT
The inept Bogwort and Stinkwort have been ordered by the wicked Queen to take Snow White on a picnic in the woods in order to murder her…
STINK.

BOG.
Neither do I, but we can’t go back to the Queen empty handed. Otherwise it’s - (Mimes cutting throat.)
STINK.
I know! I know! But killing Snow White!
BOG.
I tell you what. Only one of us needs to do it. Let’s toss a coin to choose who.

BOG.

(BOGWORT tosses coin.)
BOG.
I’m really sorry, Stinky. It’s tails.
STINK.

BOG.
She’s coming! Now just remember – (Indicates picnic hamper.) all the weapons are in the bag.
The features of a playscript are that they can have a short paragraph telling you where the characters are,stage directions and expressions to show how the person is speaking.
I like this playscript because it tells you what will happen and I like that they show how they are speaking.
The purpose of stage directions is to tell the people what they are supposed to do.
The Queen sent Bog and Stink to a picnic with Snow white because the Queen wants to kill her so Bog and Stink flip a coin to see who will kill her,
The features of a playscript are dialogue, stage directions, scene settings , present tense, titles and many more. I like that the playscript lets you imagine what is happening and its very detailed and dramatic. The purpose of stage directions are to tell the actor/actress how to feel and what to do. Julius Caesar is almost crowned kings and wants to go to the senate but his wife has a terrible dream that he will get killed and people will bathe in his blood. But Brutus and Cassius persuade him to go nd he does but lots of people stab him and Brutus is the last person to do so.
